Description
A low-carb twist on pizza and quesadillas, these keto pepperoni pizza quesadillas are crispy, cheesy, and loaded with classic Italian flavor without the carbs of traditional dough.
Ingredients
- 2 large low-carb tortillas (about 8 inches each)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 slices halal beef pepperoni
- 1/4 cup low-carb pizza sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for the pan

- Spoon half of the pizza sauce over the cheese and spread gently.
- Add half of the pepperoni slices, then sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
- Top with the remaining cheese and the second tortilla.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and second side is crisp.
